The question is incomplete; the complete question is;

If the pressure of each gas is increased at constant temperature until condensation occurs, which gas will condense at the lowest pressure?

A) Octane

B) Ethane

C) Butane

D) All the gases will condense at the same pressure

Answer:

Octane

Step-by-step explanation:

If we study the table closely we will realize that octane has the greatest molecular mass among all the gases shown.

The greater the molecular mass, the lower the pressure required for the condensation of the gas. Hence, the lowest pressure is required for the condensation of octane at constant temperature.
